Our hearts work in a pulsatile manner, producing great pulses of pressure when the ventricles squeeze (systole) and none at all when the ventricles relax and refill (diastole). Yet arterial blood pressure doesn't drop to zero during diastole. What might be the clinical significance of an unusually high difference between systolic (maximum) and diastolic (minimum) arterial blood pressure?
